Bitumen penetration grade is a classification of bitumen based on its hardness and consistency, crucial in road construction and paving applications. Measured by the depth a standard needle penetrates the bitumen sample, this grade indicates its suitability for various climates and traffic loads. Softer grades, with higher penetration values, are ideal for colder regions, while harder grades are suited for warmer climates. Bitumen penetration grade provides the durability and flexibility needed in asphalt pavements, ensuring long-lasting roads and surfaces across diverse environmental conditions.
